I’ve just changed a css font setting in my blog theme at the suggestion of someone who said it would fix the problem. Pls. let me know if it does.

I use IE. I have firefox too and I tried that and it is no better. In fact, the fonts are so tiny, they are blurred.

@Rupa Shah:

What browser are you using? I’m using Firefox & everything looks normal to me. I’ll try to get someone who knows about these technical issues to look into it & see if I can fix it.

@ Mr Silverstein
I had no specific comment but after reading Donald’s comment, I looked at my comment box and the fonts are smaller than miniature size! I do not know much about computers so do not know how to use CTRL and mouse scroll bar but tried it anyway and strangely it took me to the website I had visited just your website!

@Donald:

If anyone else has a similar problem let me know. I don’t have that problem myself. Is it possible there’s a setting you’re using in yr browser that is making the font so small? Also, you should be able to enlarge the font using CTRL & your mouse scroll bar.

I have a technical complaint first–it’s virtually impossible to read my comment as I am typing it–the letters are too small. There could be 15 typos and I won’t be able to see them.

Burston’s rant is pretty much standard on certain segments of the so-called “pro-Israel” side. The moral equivalent on the other side are the people who make every sort of excuse for Palestinian terror while condemning Israel in the harshest possible terms. I’m more sympathetic to the Palestinians, but the rhetorical bombthwowers on both sides have a great deal in common (not to mention the actual bomb-throwers). What’s really bad about Busrton is that he doesn’t even see his own evil–he’s written a vile racist peace and he considers himself a decent man.

The difference is Israel uses Caterpillar equipment systemically to oppress. This incident was just a one-off.
